an e.t. aint good for anything but looking good

the trickstars however are real nice bikes to ride. for flatland though. the head angle is a bit steep for racing

Nice frames Gray. They actually ride really well, I thought the same until i got one.

Don't knock the ET until you try it.

raleigh mag burners are only good for racing to the tip
the walk back home in the rain with no shoes on, taking a shortcut through a cactus plantation would be more enjoyable

the team replica looks like a fair bike for the money
ancient technology on them though. more looks than performance
buy a new PK ripper instead.

in my opinion

I've been fortunate enough to have owned/raced on a TA, a Hutch and a Kuwie looptail. All were really good frames, the Hutch was the nicest for me.

Also taken a Pro-Class mongoose and a DB HL Turbo around MK. Again both lovely bikes to race.

If you can get a ride on someones bike then do. Each to their own. All bikes feel so different. You need to try before you buy if you can.

Again depends whether you want to get new or old school.

You will get a better bike for you money if it is a new school.

You can get a bargain on ebay sometimes. Got my Looptail Kuwie complete with a set of alloyhubbed tuffs and NOS chrome Araya 7b's for £250.


Looked a rotter but it was only surface rust and the frame came up almost like new.

I did get it restored to this though:
